Chapter 378: Leave a Small Change
A group of people ate and drank, and after paying the bill, they began to count the money. Each person paid 1.5 yuan and handed the money to Lin Xiangnan who had paid in advance. When they went out for dinner, they always went AA.
It's still good now, chickens and ducks can be bought directly with money, and it doesn't matter if they are a little expensive. In the past two years, when they had dinner together, they not only had to collect money, but also tickets.
All of them enjoyed the feeling of being clear-headed and drank tea. No one drank alcohol, so there was no need to see them off. They all rode their bikes or took the bus back to school.
On the bus, Dabao and Xiaobao started to doze off. They were still groggy after getting off the bus, and fell asleep directly when they got home.
"What are you doing? Why did you make them so tired?" Hu Meili nagging.
"It's not because I'm tired. It's because I didn't take a nap." Lin Xiangnan said perfunctorily and started winking at Hu Meili.
Hu Meili was speechless, "Why are you looking at me? Look at your big brother!"
The two of them were acting like a double act, making it impossible for Lin Xiangdong to play dumb.
"We met today and we are both quite satisfied with each other." Lin Xiangdong said calmly: "If we can get along well, we will meet each other's parents and discuss marriage."
"Isn't your efficiency too fast?" Lin Xiangnan complained.
"Because this time we both want to get married quickly. The other party is the same age as me and is also very anxious."
Lin Xiangnan looked at him in surprise, "You still have age anxiety? That's not what you said when you first returned to China."
"Age is not important. I just want to get married." Lin Xiangdong did not make any false excuses to his family members. He said honestly, "I am actually a little afraid of Sun Xiaodie and Zhou Kangmei. Getting married early will be good for everyone."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangnan was fine, but Hu Meili rolled her eyes and said, "What are they afraid of? Why did I give birth to such a stupid son like you?"
Lin Xiangnan glanced at Hu Meili and was too embarrassed to say anything. The person Lin Xiangdong was looking for had a strong personality, just like Hu Meili.
He can be coaxed, but when he's really angry and acting crazy, he's harder to control than a pig during Chinese New Year.
No matter how Lin Xiangdong handled the matter, since they didn't get married and she didn't really become his sister-in-law, Lin Xiangnan didn't care too much about it, so as not to waste his thoughts. If anyone had to arrange it, it would be Hu Meili who would do it.
Students in school are either preparing their graduation theses or being assigned to internships at work. As graduation is approaching, they are all busy.
At the research institute, there are also a few new faces coming for internship, all of them are senior students.
Lin Xiangnan didn't pay attention to it at first, but one day when he was at work, he found that people from the two departments almost got into a fight.
After criticizing the people, the leader looked for the reason and found that one of the students who came for internship only handed over a document that needed to be submitted to two departments to one department.
As a result, people from both departments will think that there is something wrong with the other department, which will lead to conflicts.
After joining in the fun and eating the melon, Lin Xiangnan curiously asked, "Whose general is this? He is so brave."
"They are not graduate students supervised by any professor. They were recommended by the school." Sun Yi said: "They are all very capable. But they are still a little green."
The internships of students are arranged by the school, and those who dare to be sent to the research institute are all good students with clean family backgrounds and excellent character and academic performance.
"Why are there only a few interns here? Will there be more?" Lin Xiangnan asked.
"There are still several batches. Different schools have different schedules. I heard from the teacher that the institute will recruit a total of 20 new people this year. The institute has always been short of people, and after so many years, the first batch of undergraduates finally graduated."
Lin Xiangnan didn't pay much attention to the internship quota, but Sun Yi took the trouble to inquire about it.
He said expectantly, "The institute can apply for so many college students. Our 132nd Factory must also have a chance. They are all children who graduated from our 132nd Factory. How can we not let them go back?"
Except for the first batch of students who passed the exam, the number of students who passed the exam in the next two years was not very good, only two or three a year, and their test scores were also average, which could not be compared with the grand occasion of the first year.
At the time of the college entrance examination at the end of 1977, most candidates had no time to prepare, and there were insufficient study resources, so the competition was relatively small.
If it is delayed until later, even if Lin Xiangnan provides study materials and helps with tutoring, the results will not be as optimistic as the first exam.
Compared with the results of the college entrance examinations in the next two years, Lin Xiangnan's performance seemed particularly brilliant.
Even now, the employees of Factory 132 are still talking about Lin Xiangnan, praising her abilities to the skies. It is difficult for ordinary people to judge professional abilities. But the number of students who passed Lin Xiangnan's cram school is real.
"If you go back to Factory 132, I wonder how many people will want to find students for you." Sun Yi couldn't help but sigh.
"Come on. Everyone knows that college students are good nowadays, but not everyone can get in." Lin Xiangnan complained, "Students are stupid, but the teachers are the ones who suffer."
Not only do college students receive subsidies for studying, they are also guaranteed jobs after graduation, which is equivalent to having a job if you pass the exam. Not to mention that it was difficult to find a job in the past few years, there are still many unemployed young people in the city now. The quota for college students is quite popular.
"You can't go back in the next two years anyway. It's useless to think about it. But other children in our factory can help set up a mutual aid tutoring class after they go back, so as to cultivate more good seedlings for the factory."
Sun Yi's idea was quite good. Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but ask, "How many college student quotas did the factory apply for?"
"The factory director submitted 40 applications. I don't know how many places will be approved in the end."
"Factory 132 can assign 40 college students?" Lin Xiangnan's eyes widened. "That's impossible."
The research institute is much more famous than Factory 132, but it can't recruit so many people. For so many years, all units have been short of talent. Every unit wants people, but there are not enough college students. This is not the era after the expansion of enrollment, when college students are everywhere and it is difficult to find a job after graduation.
"You ask for a high price, but you pay low." Sun Yi said as a matter of course: "The factory applied for 40 positions, and if we cut it in half, it will be about 20, which is just right. The factory director still left some room for us."
Sun Yi was out of town and his communication with Factory 132 was not timely. He never expected that the superiors would not just cut the soldier in half but would cut him directly to the ankle.
The factory applied for 40 quotas for college students, which made the leaders laugh. "Factory 132 is really bold. Do they think these college students are cabbages? And 40? Two is more like it."
The zero after forty was erased, and the number was cut in half, leaving only two places for Factory 132.
